One Finger Death Punch

The sequel to the brutally simple rhythm game One Finger Death Punch will arrive on PC in April, and will contain hidden versions of both the first game and a secret cancelled project, according to developer Silver Dollar.

We already knew the game was coming at some point in Spring next year, but this news narrows it down. It's also coming to PC at least a month before consoles, which is nice to see—studio co-founder Jon Flook told Destructoid that the PC version is "90% done".

As for the hidden games within a game, Flook said: "We have some real awesome stuff in there for our old fans. Our first game is hidden in One Finger Death Punch 2, as is our most recent cancelled project. We don't even care if people find them—it's perfectly okay."

The sequel is worth getting excited about: I'm not usually a fan of rhythm games but I got hooked on One Finger Death Punch, and loved the way it choreographed its stick figure fights. Tom loved it too—you can read his thoughts on it here. The sequel was announced in March.

We'll also have our own booth at GDC as well. Check us out in the GDC Play area PL4345 in the north building, March 21, 22 and 23. This gives people a chance to play the game throughout the entire week of GDC.

One Finger Death Punch was a brutal, brilliant and surprisingly addicting rhythm fighting game about massacring stick figures to the beat. And it's getting a sequel. Developer Silver Dollar Games recently announced One Finger Death Punch 2 on Facebook, adding that it will come out "when it's ready."

The studio further explained the release date in a Facebook comment. "We're a year out from completion, it's still just the two of us," Silver Dollar said. "Just the polish and UI alone is going to take a solid eight months to finish up." The trailer for GDC 2018's Indie Megabooth also pegs it for a spring 2019 release.

Left-click, attack to your left. Right-click, attack to your right. From these simple controls, One Finger Death Punch builds into a ludicrously fast barrage of blows as torrents of enemies assault from both sides. It’s fast, it’s deadly, it’s a whole heap of fun, and it’s getting a sequel. After yonks of muttering about a sequel, developers Silver Dollar Games have now properly announced One Finger Death Punch 2. It’s still over a year out, due in spring 2019, but for now you can watch some serious stickman fisticuffs in this trailer: (more…)

It’s ludicrous to me how good One Finger Death Punch [Steam page] is. It’s a stick-man fighting game that harkens back to my wasted youth spent on tasteless websites like stickdeath.com, but it’s also one of the sleekest rhythm games I’ve ever played. Now, when I say rhythm game I’m not talking about punching to the beat, but the rhythm of combat that becomes so frantic it’s practically musical as stick-y parts fly across the screen.
